If the question is 'Are you willing to fight for your country' then a 'Sure, count me in. Huzzah!' seems to be a bit more than the commitment to defend your home. Defending your country is - as far as I'm concerned - a very specific case of fighting for your country. Also - defending a country (a more or less random historical entity with potentially largely different political and ethical views even among residents) shouldn't be conflated with defending your home. For me the former is abstract and quite artificial. The latter is literally the place where I live.
